Thanks for being there. Billy Reeves talks with Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) and Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, The Pineapple Thief) about the definition of collaboration in music, its pitfalls and advantages. Along the way we discuss the fall of Anathema, Steven Wilson’s teeth-brushing proclivities and a magic guitar… …and we get to hear many of Kscope’s collaborative tunes, serving as a history of the label and its family of musicians, including iamthemorning with Gav and Mariusz, Bruce with Jonas of Katatonia, Engineers and North Atlantic Oscillation.

Kscope Podcast 146 - Mariusz Duda (Lunatic Soul, Riverside)

In Kscope 146 Mariusz Duda (Riverside, Lunatic Soul) and Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) find themselves in contemplative, nostalgic mood due to the pandemic, looking back at their younger selves. Mariusz through his Lockdown Trilogy project, recorded in isolation, inspired by the Euro-electronica of his youth (Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream) and Bruce/The Pineapple Thief’s re-wired/re-worked LP Give It Back, featuring re-recorded, re-wired material with Gavin Harrison (featuring lyrical updates; bringing the stories told therein up-to-date too). We’ll hear from both Mariusz and Bruce herein. PLUS brand new music from the forthcoming Ed Wynne (Ozric Tentacles) album, a gorgeous track from the Jon Gomm album The Faintest Idea and, talking of abstract electronica, the guvnors, Tangerine Dream – a teaser from the spectacular book-set of La Divina Commedia.

The past is part of our future.
